Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: Fire hazard

The jump-start feature is designed for short term operation only— less than 4 seconds. Operating the jump-start feature for more than 4 seconds may cause damage to the unit. Allow the XPower Powerpack to cool down for at least 3 minutes after each jump- start.

WARNING: Risk of explosion, fire or burns

The battery terminals exposed at the Jump-Start Cable Port have enough energy present to cause a spark, creating an explosion hazard, or to cause burns if a metal object contacts both terminals. Always clip the plastic guard over the Port when not in use.

WARNING: Fire hazard

Do not leave the compressor unattended while operating. The compressor is designed for short term operation only. Operation of the compressor over an extended period of time will cause the compressor unit to overheat and may cause damage. Allow the compressor to cool down for 10 minutes after each 10 minutes of continuous operation.
